Abstract

We study the effect of atomic interaction on the localization and the associated dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in a one-dimensional quasiperiodic optical lattice and random disordered potentials. When the interactions are absent, the condensates exhibit localization, which weakens as we increase the interaction strength beyond a threshold value for both potential types. We inspect the localized and delocalized states by perturbing the system via quenching the interaction strength instantaneously to zero and studying the dynamics of the condensate, which we further corroborate using the out-of-time-order correlator. The temporal behavior of the time correlator displays regular dynamics for the localized state, while it shows temporal chaos for the delocalized state. We confirm this dynamical behavior by analyzing the power spectral density of the time correlator. We further identify that the condensate admits a quasiperiodic route to chaotic dynamics for both the potentials. Finally, we present the variation of the maximal Lyapunov exponents for different nonlinearity and disorder strengths that have a positive value in the regime where the time-correlator function shows chaotic behavior. Through this, we establish the strong connection between the spatially delocalized state of the condensate and its temporal chaos.

Chaotic dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in a tilted optical lattice

Selvaraju, C., S. Sabari, Olivier Tiokeng Lekeufack +2 more

This study investigates the emergence of chaotic dynamics in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) subjected to both alternating (AC) and constant (DC) components of the interaction strength, modeled through the scattering length. We systematically explore how the interplay of AC and DC nonlinearities affect the dynamical evolution of the condensate under a tilted optical lattice potential. Various types of chaos are identified across different parametric regimes, with numerical simulations revealing a clear distinction between regular and chaotic domains. The width of the regular domains is quantified, and the influence of AC and DC components in promoting stochastic behavior is highlighted. Lyapunov exponents, Poincaré sections, and other chaos indicators then confirm the transition to chaotic dynamics, in agreement with analytical expectations. A qualitative conjecture is proposed for the role of these interactions in BEC stabilization. Our findings offer insights into the dynamic control of BECs, with potential applications in quantum simulation and coherent matter-wave engineering, in line with entanglement and quantum transport, that are crucial for developing robust and reliable quantum technologies.

Dynamical Signatures and Kibble-Zurek Scaling of Localization in Tilted Bose-Einstein Condensates

Argha Debnath, Radheshyam Saha, Ravindra W. Chhajlany +2 more

We study nonequilibrium signatures of tilt-induced localization in a one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate loaded in a shallow optical lattice. The tilt strength acts as a control parameter for the localization-delocalization crossover. We also consider the effects of repulsive interactions, which tend to delocalize the condensate. We first characterize localized and delocalized regimes through sudden quenches of the interaction strength and the external tilt. The resulting dynamics is analyzed using the survival probability and its power spectral density. Localized condensates exhibit strong memory retention, pronounced revivals, regular dynamics and a narrow spectral response, whereas delocalized condensates show suppressed recurrences, irregular dynamics and a broader distribution of spectral weight over many frequencies. We then investigate finite-rate ramps of the tilt strength across the localization threshold. Using the localization length and the Bogoliubov excitation gap, we extract the relevant critical exponents and perform Kibble-Zurek scaling analysis in the driven dynamics. Our results establish quench response and finite-rate scaling as complementary dynamical probes of localization in interacting Bose gases, with direct relevance to cold-atom experiments in tilted optical lattices.

Weakly interacting Bose gas in quasiperiodic disorder

Mohit Pandey

In a recent experiment, Anderson localization was observed directly for non-interacting Bose-Einstein Condensate in one dimension. The experiment was performed using quasiperiodic optical lattice. Their system can be described by the one-dimensional noninteracting Aubry-Andr�e model. This model which simulates disorder with its quasiperiodic potential shows transition from extended to localised states at a critical disorder strength. The ground state gets localised around a single point for disorder larger than the critical value. We find that while inverse participation ratio increases as we increase disorder and rises to one in insulator phase, super uid fraction decreases as we increase disorder and goes to zero sharply in the insulator phase . When we introduce weak repulsive interaction for Bose gas in the model at the mean field level, we see that the ground-state shows multiple-site localization for certain disorder range, which lies above the critical value. For given interaction strength, we find that the inverse participation ratio increases slowly and super uid fraction decreases slowly as we increase disorder. Moreover, by representing our model as a classical two-dimensional nonlinear Hamiltonian map, we distinguish between localised and extended states by studying the trajectories in phase-space. Using this, we find out the localization length of eigenstates as a function of disorder for non-interacting model. Further, we study the time-evolution of a wave-packet in different regimes of disorder and see the effect of interaction on it.

Anderson localization and quenched induced dynamics of spin orbit coupled Bose–Einstein condensate in a random potential

Z. Oztas, O Nabiollahi

Abstract We consider the localization and dynamical properties of a one dimensional spin orbit coupled Bose–Einstein condensate trapped by a disordered speckle potential. We numerically solve coupled Gross–Pitaevskii equation to obtain ground sate solutions. The effects of spin–orbit coupling and detuning parameter on localization are investigated. It is found that the increase of spin–orbit coupling delocalizes the condensate while the increase of detuning favors localization. After achieving the numerical ground state solutions, we examine the quench induced dynamics of the condensate by the complete cessation of the spin–orbit coupling. We show that at parameters where the ground state is not localized, the dynamics of the system is chaotic.

Disorder Induced Dynamic Equilibrium Localization and Random Phase Steps of Bose—Einstein Condensates

Yafan Duan, Zhen Xu, Jun Qian +3 more

We numerically analyze the dynamic behavior of Bose—Einstein condensate (BEC) in a one-dimensional disordered potential before it completely loses spatial quantum coherence. We find that both the disorder statistics and the atom interactions produce remarkable effects on localization. We also find that the single phase of the initial condensate is broken into many small pieces while the system approaches localization, showing a counter-intuitive step-wise phase but not a thoroughly randomized phase. Although the condensates as a whole show less flow and expansion, the currents between adjacent phase steps retain strong time dependence. Thus we show explicitly that the localization of a finite size Bose—Einstein condensate is a dynamic equilibrium state.

Hyperchaos in a Bose-Hubbard Chain with Rydberg-Dressed Interactions

Gary McCormack, Rejish Nath, Weibin Li

We study the chaos and hyperchaos of Rydberg-dressed Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) in a one-dimensional optical lattice. Due to the long-range, soft-core interaction between the dressed atoms, the dynamics of the BECs are described by the extended Bose-Hubbard model. In the mean-field regime, we analyze the dynamical stability of the BEC by focusing on the ground state and localized state configurations. Lyapunov exponents of the two configurations are calculated by varying the soft-core interaction strength, potential bias, and length of the lattice. Both configurations can have multiple positive Lyapunov exponents, exhibiting hyperchaotic dynamics. We show the dependence of the number of the positive Lyapunov exponents and the largest Lyapunov exponent on the length of the optical lattice. The largest Lyapunov exponent is directly proportional to areas of phase space encompassed by the associated Poincaré sections. We demonstrate that linear and hysteresis quenches of the lattice potential and the dressed interaction lead to distinct dynamics due to the chaos and hyperchaos. Our work is relevant to current research on chaos as well as collective and emergent nonlinear dynamics of BECs with long-range interactions.
